Previously, fresh installs of MP-WP required a fair amount of futzing1 before comments would work.

This vpatch modifies /blog/wp-comments-post.php and the comments.php files in both themes' subdirectories such that commenting should work without any configuration requirements upon instalation, keeping MP's antispam functionality intact, naturally.

This patch is just shy of three weeks late, the fact of which is about as embarrassing as why: I still retain certain cockroaches. Three weeks' worth of "dude I still haven't made that patch" sessions is how long it took me to realize the only way this was getting done, by me anyway, was with a fucking pen and a sheet of paper, and writing out a "stupid" "unnecessary" graph of the problems and the attempted solutions, with their results. 'Cause I oughta be able to just do it, right? Harr.

Copy-pasting the $suffix string between one of the two included themes' comments handler and the top-level post file in the case of the "Default" theme, and modifying both said string and comment field variables when using "Classic". [↩]
